Pollys Cottage is an alluring 17th century Lakeland cottage located in the village of Elterwater, in the Langdale Valley of Cumbria, North of England. The cottage sleeps 5 people in 3 bedrooms, making it an ideal base for exploring the hidden gems of the Lakes region. The property features a spacious sitting room with a woodburning stove, a country kitchen with a dining area, and access to a shared garden with a furnished patio.
Upstairs, there are 2 double bedrooms and 1 single bedroom, along with a bathroom with a bath, shower, basin, and WC. The cottage is perfect for two couples looking to spread out comfortably or families seeking an active holiday. Guests can enjoy walking the Langdale Pikes directly from the property and can visit the nearby Britannia Inn for Lakeland ales and home-cooked meals. Chesters by the River, a café and gift shop, is also a short walk away, offering homemade goods.
In addition to exploring the local village, guests can visit nearby attractions such as Hawkshead and Coniston Water, the third largest lake in the Lake District. Boating activities are available on Coniston Water, where visitors can discover Peel Island, famously featured in Arthur Ransome's Swallows & Amazons as 'Wild Cat Island'. The proximity to Ambleside makes Pollys Cottage a convenient choice for those looking to explore the area while enjoying a peaceful retreat.
